What the law gives you in North Carolina
North Carolina removed the conviction question from state government applications only, so a private employer here can still ask.
Private employers Government jobs only A 2020 executive order took the question off applications at agencies under the Governor. It does not cover state contractors or local government, and neither Charlotte nor Durham has anything in its city code on this. What North Carolina does give you reaches private employers but only for expunged records: once a record is expunged an employer may not ask about it, you may answer no, and the Labor Commissioner enforces that. North Carolina Executive Order 158 (2020) (Governor’s agencies); expunged records, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-153 · checked September 17, 2026
